Chapter 356: A Thousand Miles of Message
When Jing Chi saw Yao Yue, he didn't care about saluting, so he asked directly: "Hello Mrs. Sister-in-law, where is your husband Mr. Zhang Yi now?" But we were so desperate that we couldn't find him anywhere. ”
Yao Yue scolded in his heart: "What are you looking for him for, are you still thinking that he is not bad enough?" Is it really a matter of human life? ”
But Yao Yue laughed with her, she knew that she couldn't cry with a sad face, so that she wouldn't let the other party know that Zhang Yi was in a predicament, and didn't think about the punishment she received?
Yao Yue replied: "My husband doesn't understand the rules of Chu State, he offended the powerful ministers of Chu State, he was seriously injured, and now he is disheartened and is recuperating in the countryside......
Yao Yue said what Zhang Yi had instructed again, and when Jing Chi heard it, his anxiety relaxed. said: "When the king of our country heard what happened at the banquet that day, he was very angry, and not only reprimanded the prince Mihuai and Ling Yin Zhaoyang fiercely, but also fined them five hundred gold each. ”
Jing Chi said, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't invited Mrs. Zhang Yi into the mansion yet, so he said: "If it's convenient for Mrs. Sister-in-law, please go to the mansion with me, and let's talk about it in detail." ”
Yao Yue looked inside vigilantly, and she said in her heart: "You Chu people are all on the surface and behind you, there may be some traps hidden in your mansion, so I won't be fooled." Now in this alley, people come and go, you won't do anything to me. ”
Yao Yue shook his head and refused: "I went to the street to buy some clothes today, and I came to your house by the way, Zhang Yi asked me to give a message: If Doctor Jingchi is really a kind person, please send someone to Senior Brother Su Qin to bring a message." ”
When Jing Chi heard that Zhang Yi was going to bring a letter to Su Qin, his heart suddenly became nervous, and he thought, "What message does Zhang Yi want to bring over?" ”
"Sure enough, the one who should come can't be hidden, the king is most worried about punishing Zhang Yi and provoking Su Qin's revenge, so he blames the prince and Ling Yin. Isn't that coming to pass right away? ”
Jing Chi's face was even more humble at this time, and he kept laughing, and he asked cautiously tentatively: "What message does Mr. Zhang Yi want to send to Prime Minister Su Qin?" It would be nice for him to show up on his own, and the king of our country is about to reuse and reward him. ”
Yao Yue thought to herself: "Until now, who still says these deceitful nonsense, who will believe it!" ”
She remained silent and replied: "My husband doesn't want to participate in the affairs of officialdom anymore, he just entrusted Dr. Jing to send someone to tell Su Qin that his task has not been completed, and ask Su Qin to come to Chu to lobby by himself." ”
Jing Chi listened to Yao Yue's words, and then he put his mind at ease, he thought: "I see, but explain to Su Qin that the Chu State has not entered the Hezong Alliance." It's okay, Su Qin can come in person, Chu Guo is asking for it, and he originally wanted Su Qin to enter Chu in person. ”
Thinking of this, Jing Chi smiled even more and said, "This little matter is not a problem, please tell Mr. Zhang Yi, and I will arrange for someone to send a letter to the past." ”
He stared at Yao Yue and said with a very sincere attitude: "You also persuade your husband that the unhappiness at the dinner a few days ago was just a misunderstanding, and I hope he can regain his spirit and not have to dwell on the past." ”
Yao Yue listened to Jing Chi's words, and was so angry that he almost spat at his face, and scolded secretly in his heart: "Your Chu State Ling Yin almost beat Zhang Yi to death, leaving only the last breath, and it was actually a misunderstanding. You magnates are very light-hearted, where do you care about the lives and deaths of others. ”
Yao Yue suppressed the resentment in her heart with great patience, she lowered her head and calmed down her emotions for a while, before she pretended to smile again, and replied: "Doctor Jing can send a letter to Su Qin, then we can rest assured, and I will leave." ”
Jing Chi politely kept Yao Yue into the house again to talk, but Yao Yue turned around and didn't look back.
With twelve points of satisfaction, Jing Chi returned to the mansion quite complacently, and immediately called a handyman who was good at running errands in the mansion and asked him to send a message to Su Qin.
Jing Chi's smugness lies in the fact that he can ask Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, to take credit, show that he successfully persuaded Zhang Yi to resolve the hatred with the Chu State, and sent a message to Su Qin to enter Chu to negotiate a joint alliance. The worries of the king of Chu were eliminated, and it was naturally inevitable that he would take credit for himself.
When the people sent by Jing Chi set out to find Su Qin, Su Qin had already returned to Handan, the capital of Zhao State. The messenger first arrived at Daliang of Wei State, and found that Su Qin was not there, so he came to Handan City again.
Su Qin received a message from Jing Chi in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Handan City, and he was shocked to hear that Zhang Yi had not succeeded in lobbying and had lived in seclusion in the countryside of Chu State. He knew very well that with Zhang Yi's eloquence and insight, it was impossible not to even get a half-official position in the Chu State.
When Senior Brother Zhang said goodbye, he was bent on opening up a new situation in the Chu State!
Su Qin was anxious to ask the person who came to know the details, but the person sent by Jingchi to deliver the letter was a miscellaneous servant in his house, who knew the slightest details, and kept saying that he was just a messenger, and brought the letter as it was, and he didn't know anything else.
In desperation, Su Qin rewarded the person with three golds, and asked him to go back and tell Jing Chi that he might soon have to go to the Chu State. The visitor didn't expect that there would be a reward, so he happily took it, turned around and left.
Su Qin fell into deep thought, he didn't believe that Senior Brother Zhang Yi would really be willing to go incognito in the countryside of Chu State, giving up the knowledge and skills taught by Master Guigu, as well as his usual ideals. Zhang Yi has great ambitions, otherwise, he would just be a small official in the Wei State in a down-to-earth manner, why did he work hard to run to the Chu State?
Su Qin had already vaguely guessed that Zhang Yi had been hit hard in the Chu State, and the words "the mission was not completed" that could come out of his mouth would take a lot of courage for an extremely strong person. If you are not helpless, how can Zhang Yi be willing to admit defeat?
After thinking about it, he felt that this matter had come strangely and that something was not quite right. Just now, he had already asked someone to tell Jing Chi that he might enter Chu, and after some careful consideration, he strengthened his determination to go to Chu in person.
However, not long after he returned from the Great Liang of Wei, Zhao still had a lot of official business to deal with, and the interpersonal relationships above the court needed to be straightened out and consolidated.
When Su Qin just returned to Zhao State, he had already entered the palace to meet Zhao Hou Zhao Yu, and the two talked deeply for a whole day, from morning to midnight, combing and deducing the situation in the world and the future development of Zhao State carefully, carefully and meticulously.
Su Qin's judgment at this time coincided with Zhang Yi's, just like Zhang Yi suggested to Xiong Shang, the king of Chu: the alliance is not the fundamental purpose.
The eastern princes took advantage of the alliance to curb the encroachment and encroachment of the Qin State, so that the Qin State no longer dared to unscrupulously harass and interrupt the reform plans of various countries, and the princes won the peaceful space and overall environment for the development of their own countries, which was the key to the success or failure of the Alliance.
